Birth, Infancy, and Maturation - Before the baby arrives

W
hen a husband and wife decide to have a baby they should both undergo
complete physical examinations. This will make it possible to detect and
treat abnormalities like diabetes and anemia that might affect the
future pregnancy. A pregnant woman should have periodic checkups so that
her physician can observe both her progress and that of the growing
fetus. Such observation will help to assure a pregnancy and delivery
that are free from troublesome complications.
